郑和七下印度洋--马欢笔下的“那没黎洋”

摘要

In the early of 15th century, Zheng He’ s seven voyages to the Western Ocean were unprecedented. The Western Ocean was the “Lamuri Ocean” in Ma Huan’ s Writing at that time, today is Indian Ocean, therefore Zheng He’ s seven voyages were seven voyages to the Indian Ocean. The voyages were comprehensively cut-through the ancient land and sea silk roads, to link together the Asian Africa and European, and made the important bedding for regional history to globalization. Given the fuzzy understanding of Zheng He to the western seas to date, it is very important to clarify the prob-lem of Zheng He’ s aim, facts and diplomatic concept in the Ming dynasty.%15世纪初郑和七下西洋，中国人以史无前例的规模走向海洋。在亲历下西洋的马欢笔下，当时明朝人所认识的西洋具体所指是“那没黎洋”———即今天的印度洋。七下印度洋全面贯通了古代陆海丝绸之路，联通了亚非欧，为区域史走向全球化做出了重要铺垫。鉴于迄今对郑和所下西洋的认识模糊不清，澄清七下西洋即七下印度洋，这对于郑和下西洋目的与史实以及明朝外交理念的探讨至关重要。
